No economic benefit of this decision just it will add burden on poor employees of banks as 52 working days increase in an year.

Globally, working hours have been reduced to maintain good work life balance ,but here they are are putting extra pressure on employees just to please their business partners.Imagine employees are working for 7 hours with fasting in hot summer,, travellin Apr 15, 2022 12:39pm
